Building Safety (MM8000 – ULC only) An event category in ULC mode for events associated with property and building

safety (e.g. from HVAC systems).. This event category is represented in the Event list by the acronym

BLDG.

Buzzer The sound that the DMS fire and intrusion system terminals and the MT8001 makes when an event occurs.

This is different from the horn, which is activated by the control unit (and is much louder than the buzzer).

CDDL/CDSF Serial protocol proposed as standard for interfacing control units to DMS hosts via NK822x or CDI-Net

gateways. It is organised in two parts:

CDDL (Cerberus Dati Data Link), supporting a polling-selecting data-link protocol (ISO/OSI level 2) for bi-

nary packets;

CDSF (Cerberus Dati Standard Format), providing an object oriented application protocol (ISO/OSI level 7)

for representing control units as a set of multiple-state objects.

This protocol is still used for some control units, including the SIMATRIX CCTV crossbar.

CDI-Net A Legacy network family, which has been phased-out but is still supported in MM8000/MK8000. The CDI-

Net network provides various point-to-point connectivity solutions for Siemens fire, safety, and intrusion

control units. The network has a star topology with a central concentrator, and optionally smaller peripheral

concentrators (1 or 2-level networks). The CDI-Net devices communicate with DMS supervision systems

over an RS232 serial line, using CMSDL proprietary protocol.

The CDI-Net unit list includes GW20 and GW21 gateways, and Cerban splitter.

CDI-WAN See NK8000.

Cerban Serial, point-to-point interface protocol for Siemens fire, safety, and intrusion control units. Physically, it can

be based on TTL or V24 (RS-232) signals.

When equipped with Cerban interface cards, the control units can provide access to an external DMS com-

puter on CDI-NET or NK8000 (formerly CDI-WAN) network.

Cerloop The Cerloop network provides a redundant connectivity solution for Siemens fire, safety, and intrusion con-

trol units. The network has a ring topology, and each unit can communicate via two different wiring paths,

thus assuring a redundant link in case of failure in any point of the loop.

In order to communicate with a DMS supervision system such as MM8000, the Cerloop network should

include one or more interface communication units, called MK7022, which provides access to an external

computer system via an RS232 serial protocol based on the ISO1745 standard.

From a Cerloop ring equipped with MK7022, access to a DMS computer is possible both directly, and via a

larger CDI-NET or NK8000 (formerly CDI-WAN) network.
